Tenerlo Todo: Having It All in Mi Vida Flamenca
A professional flamenco dancer since the age of 16, Julia Lopez performed in the cafes of Madrid, the resorts of Haiti, and the cabarets of Paris during the 1950's. And though she gave it all up to become the quintessential American military wife and mother traveling from state to state, the spirit and soul of flamenco never left her heart - or her body. It wasn't until the 70's when Julia - now in her 40's, newly single, running a restaurant in the City of Brotherly Love while raising three kids - found her true passion - and new love. Entering into both a personal and professional partnership with the esteemed Carlos Rubio, together they became beloved teachers, re-energized performers, and cultural icons in Philadelphia - and beyond. Julia's unusual life and adventures are fascinating. Her refusal to succumb to the expectations of women in the world of dance - and society - is stirring. And her determination to "have it all," no matter how long it took to find it, is triumphant, heartbreaking, and deeply inspiring.

Celebrating Our Cuentos: Choosing and Using Latinx Literature in the Classroom
Dr. Julia López-Robertson makes a case for infusing our classrooms with literature by a range of Latinx authors and illustrators- voices that reflect our students' experiences and provide a window into the cultures of people from Spanish-speaking countries and communities. She shows how to identify quality literature by checking for bias, stereotypes, and cultural and linguistic authenticity. From there, she explores how to put the literature to work in whole-class lessons, read-alouds, small group discussions, and writing projects to nurture engaged readers. Foreword by Sonia Nieto.

Re-envisioning Family Engagement and Literacy in Early Childhood Classrooms

Voices That Count
Brought to life by a host of talented creators, this graphic novel anthology dissects what it means to be a woman in today’s hyper-masculine world. VOICES THAT COUNT is a collection of short comics that celebrates women. Printed in English for the first time, this Spanish collection highlights and uplifts women’s voices, collecting their stories of life, love, and empowerment. Interacting with everything from the realities of gender imbalance in the workplace—through a gender-flipped lens—to toxic beauty standards taking a toll on the body image of young girls, VOICES THAT COUNT gives women a space to recount their struggles and triumphs. In the words of artist Ada Diez, “This comic shows the importance of an unconditionally supportive family environment, the necessity of the right educational groundwork as a feminist principle, and the key to fight for your dreams—understanding the importance of an individual’s independence, forgetting what’s been established by gender rules.” This inspiring and thought-provoking volume collects nine stories from some of Spain’s best and brightest female authors and illustrators.
